AGRA: In an unusual RTI, a Chhattisgarh resident has requested the Mathura district authorities to provide the copy of Lord Krishna’s birth certificate along with the proof that Krishna was a God. The query has left officials flummoxed regarding the kind of information that should be provided to the applicant.Talking to TOI, Public Information Officer, Ramesh Chandra, said it's difficult to find answers to questions that are related to public faith and personal beliefs. He said that everyone is confused with the query and don’t know how to respond to it. “We all are in a dilemma”, he said adding that they can only provide information available with them in the system and can not create it.In the RTI application, Jainendra Kumar Gendle , a resident of Bilaspur district has stated, "Government of India declared national holiday on September 3 on account of Krishna Janmashtami . Please provide a copy of Lord Krishna's birth certificate to prove he was born on this day in Mathura.”Reacting on the RTI query, Vrindavan priest, Rasiya said that certificate cannot be provided as Lord Krishna was not born on September 3. Explaining further, he said that according to Hindu calendar, Lord Krishna was born on the eighth day of Krishna Paksha in Bhadra month, which is certified.Another priest, Anirudh said that the person who demanded the birth certificate of Lord Krishna is intellectually “handicapped”. He said that he should also know that certificate facility was not available during that period. Also, if RTI applicant wants proof that Krishna was a god, he should visit Vrindavan and spend time at a religious place and must read the holy books, he would get the proof on his own.
